Is Snapchat Marketing Effective?

Snapchat has become a prominent tool to market a business or products to the world. I do believe that using Snapchat as a marketing tool is effective. I believe it is effective because of the number of people that are on the app. Almost 500 million people are regular Snapchat users. That is half a billion people that have a chance to see your advertisement or marketing tool if you use Snapchat for marketing. Also if the goal of your business is to reach the younger population, Snapchat is a key way to do so. Among everyone on the app, the vast majority are teenagers and young adults. 69 percent of active users are 13-17-year-olds and 62% of active users are 18-29-year-olds. 77% of college students use Snapchat daily also. 



Also, Snapchat can be seen as less formal compared to the platforms it can still be used as a tool for marketing and advertising. Snapchat ads receive twice the visual attention of Facebook ads, 1.5 times more than Instagram, and 1.3 times more than Youtube. It is also very low cost and many people buy products from Snapchat. I can recall a time where I was scrolling through Snapchat and I was very hungry. The next ad that popped up then was an ad for Taco Bell. That as alone made me get off my couch and go to Taco Bell and get food. Taco Bell gained a customer off of a simple social media ad that they put out.

In conclusion, Snapchat can be a huge tool to help build brand awareness and help with promoting their products and their company. This is especially prominent in the younger population which makes up the up. Just a Snapchat ad can influence someone's behavior that could lead to helping their business.

Chapter 1 Material

One of the biggest concepts I comprehended out of the content in chapter one of the introduction of social media is the different advantages and disadvantages of social media. I want to focus on the advantages. Some of the advantages of social media include being able to build your brand, communicating with family and friends, and capturing memories. The most important advantage from the chapter for me is being able to connect with family and friends while also collecting memories along the way. Family and friends are two of the biggest components of my life and they always will be. Being away from my family and friends during college can be very stressful. I am very guilty of relying on my mom and dad to do many things for me. Even though I am a sophomore now, I still am trying to adapt and settle in to do things on my own. Even though I struggle at times, the access to social media has given me the opportunity to connect with my family and friends so I feel like I have a little bit o...

PRSSA Meeting

 For one of my school assignments, we had to attend an event this week around campus with homecoming. Due to my busy schedule this weekend I chose to attend the PRSSA meeting Thursday night. There were some other events to pick from but with my schedule being very busy this was the only event that I could get to go to. In addition to just attending, we also had to live-tweet this event giving updates with key takeaways from the event. This isn't the most orthodox assignment for a class that I get to do, but it was actually pretty interesting. This PRSSA meeting was all about ethics. September is Ethics Month in this organization so it was only fitting that our meeting would be over ethics and how it ties into public relations. For this event, they brought in a couple of guest speakers. These guest speakers were Ronele Dotson and Jo Ann LeSage Nelson. They talked about different types of crises and walked us through different case studies with what they had to deal with. What I like...

Thanksgiving Break

 Right about this time in the semester I really fellow students and I really start to get warn out of school. Schoolwork right around this time always heats up. Many of my classes are holding exams this week which puts on added stress with all of my other activities going on. What I really want and what my of my classmates want to come sooner is Thanksgiving Break. I know I am ready for it. Every day I wake up I am exhausted because I was up late doing homework the night before. I am also on football so the time where I could be doing homework and catching up on some sleep, I am at football and devote my time to that. Even though many students are not in athletics I can tell many of them are mentally drained. Many students are starting to not give sufficient effort to homework or exams anymore because they are just tired of it. I know I fall right into that category. These are a couple reasons why I am ready for Thanksgiving break. Having the opportunity to go home for a week and b...
